What are your Labor Day Weekend plans?

A lot of people in Michigan use the long Labor Day Weekend as a chance to enjoy one last bit of summer before school starts and the cold fall winds begin to blow. I know about 50,000 or so will be walking across the Mackinac Bridge on Monday. Most of the Michigan State Parks will be at or near capacity with folks camping over the weekend. The rest of us will most likely at least have a cookout of some sort. How about you?

2006 Labor Day Bridge Walk

Labor Day weekend marks the unofficial end to summer and once again about 50,000 folks in Michigan celebrated by participating in the 49th annual Labor Day Mackinac Bridge Walk. Security was tight for the event as it has been since 9-11.

The above picture was captured at www.MackinacBridge.org under the "Bridge Cams" link. The only camera still in operation is from the St. Ignace side of the bridge. There used to be one from the Mackinaw City side that offered a profile shot of the bridge. I don't know what happened to that one.
